Dear God, Part 2

As my daughter was trying to fill in "Daddy's Page" in her prayer journal, she just continued to stare at a blank page. She looked at me and said, "I don't know what to write. Daddy's not with us very much."

WHAT?

AGAIN! Sounds like he's never home. However, in reality, he's home at least 4-5 nights a weeks (always by about 5:30 pm). Yet, when she compares it to Mommy, who is here all the time ... he's here LESS. She meant to say LESS!

It makes for more funny looks from her Sunday School teachers.

I'm sure they're thinking, "Well, with all that yelling, I guess it's no wonder her poor Daddy is never home!?!"

crap i write about

years of drivel

"My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours.
Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you and I,of these stories of who we are and where we have come from and the people we have met along the way because it is precisely through these stories, in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us most powerfully and personally."
